What is Marco Polo
Overview
Marco Polo is a video messaging app that allows asynchronous video conversations and social communication. It offers both a free tier and a paid "Plus" subscription with extra features.

What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Cancellation stops future auto-renewals but does not usually remove access immediately.
You keep Marco Polo Plus access until the end of your paid billing period.
Data and account
Your account and message history remain unless you specifically delete them in the app or on the website.
Canceling a subscription does not automatically delete your account or uploaded video history.
Will I get a refund?
Apple App Store refunds
Refunds for iOS purchases must be requested from Apple Support directly.
Apple typically considers refund requests within around 30 days and decisions are discretionary.
Google Play and Marco Polo developer
Google Play has the best chance for an automatic refund if requested within 48 hours of purchase.
Marco Polo Support may assist with refund requests up to 60 days, but the developer does not guarantee refunds.

Your consumer rights in India
Statutory position
India does not provide a statutory "14-day right of withdrawal" for digital subscriptions similar to physical goods.
Refunds for Marco Polo purchases depend on the platform (Apple or Google Play) and are discretionary.
Practical advice
- Request refunds promptly: ideally within 48 hours on Google Play and within ~30 days via Apple.
- Cancel subscriptions before the renewal date - at least 24 hours prior is recommended to avoid being charged.
- Keep receipts and transaction IDs to support any refund or dispute requests.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Users often praise Marco Polo for convenient, private, ad-free asynchronous video messaging.
Parents and families highlight the app's ease of use and ability to maintain meaningful long-distance connections.
Negative feedback
Long-time users report that previously free features were moved behind the paid subscription.
Other complaints include technical glitches, playback issues, and concerns about privacy and contact verification.
Documentation checklist
Essential items to gather
- Purchase receipt or order confirmation from App Store / Google Play / website.
- Date and time of purchase, subscription name, and transaction ID.
- Account email or username used for the Marco Polo account.
Helpful extras
- Screenshots of subscription status in the app, billing statements showing the charge, and cancellation confirmation.
- Device model and OS version (for technical support requests).
Common mistakes
Cancelling the wrong way
Many users uninstall the app but do not cancel the subscription in the App Store or Google Play, which does not stop billing.
Always cancel via the store where you purchased the subscription.
Expecting automatic refunds
Assuming a refund will be automatic is risky; refunds are handled by Apple or Google and often discretionary.
Prompt action and clear documentation improve your chances but do not guarantee a refund.
